I realize 1 quart of make-up in 7K miles on a vehicle with 111k miles isn't bad, but it would bum me out a little. Especially since the vehicle appears to have had synthetic oil for a good bit of it's lifetime. Has it always burned this much or is it quickly increasing due to mileage? I couldn't brag about this engine (I know many 4.7 liter engines have produced stellar UOA's) due to the oil consumption....just a pet-peeve of mine.
Now I remember...
The make up oil was added because a tech at Goodyear who was supposed to change the tranny fluid, drained oil instead for about 20-30 seconds. I added about a qt to top it off; this occurred at about 2K into the interval. So since the oil was "refreshed," this UOA is not as comparable as the others... the wear numbers may be a little low, but not by much.
